SANJAY_G gave u a link to the installation guide and marist89 gave a recommendation.

For installation that's all you'll need. For P/T why there a couple of books by Oracle press, Tom Kyte's book and an O'reily's published book on P&T. Personally, i stay away from Oracle press (there are exceptions but P/T aint one of them).
